I'm updating UNM's grad level Intro to Clinical Science course for this Spring. What readings/topics would you all add?!

Just wrote in an email to my postbacc RA: "It's messy! Previous authors should have done a better job figuring this out! But they didn't, so we need to figure out something sensible." In other words, it's Wednesday

This is just the kind of thing that happens where I live, I like it

Developmental psychopathology friends: I'm taking over and totally revamping our course for Spring – help me build a kick-ass reading list - what are your favorite recent review/perspectives articles? Self-promotions welcome! 🙏

The anatomy of an AI-supported academic article is becoming more apparent. I desk reviewed ~70 manuscripts this week for our journal. Reckon 20ish had significant AI assistance. On top of hundreds of others recently I'm starting to see patterns. Are other editors are seeing the same or similar? 1/

Huh. So quiet. Well, Paris has had an exciting time lately, they could use some sleep.

Me, having watched exactly 2 minutes of world cup before now, watching France v Spain on French TV: So these teams are both really good and France is supposed to be better, huh?

Paris is breaking out singing their national anthem at cafes everywhere

We're developing alternative ways to shorten questionnaires, given psychology's questionable focus on inter-item correlations. We are looking for datasets: - clinical (mental health) - contains diagnosis - contains long form - contains short form Steep requirements, but maybe someone knows smth?

🚨 HEADS UP: If you haven't submitted a comment on the OMB proposal yet, there's still time - but it's running out! There are only 11 days left to push back against Russell Vought's attempt to give political appointees unprecedented control over federal research funding. Take Action: zurl.co/R83IO

About to see St Etienne...opening for Belle and Sebastian.

It's the 11th anniversary of Obergefell! I remember exactly where I was when I found out —I remember texting my girlfriend and communities about the news, I remember feeling my future open up, and I remember the loneliness that came with hiding my joy from my family, as I wasn't out.
